Have you ever taken on something
and in the middle of doing it you ask yourself
"WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
Recently I just completed an order for 100 pincushions.
Are you asking yourself right now,
"How long would that take to do?"
ONE YEAR!
Yep, That's right an entire year.
Here they are ready for delivery...
I was on the hunt ....
at garage sales,
thrift stores
and estate sales for all the teacups.
I love all the different colors.
But PINK is still my favorite!
Here's a close up of some of the pretty teacups.
After finding the teacups,
I had to find fabric that coordinated with each teacup.
That was a challenge!
I found two different ribbons for each teacup, to match the fabric
and made a pretty bow.
Each teacup was then glued to a piece of glassware.
I then glued a spoon to the saucer.
The spoon was embellished with a button and rhinestone.
So I was on the hunt for 100 spoons
and I needed 100 buttons and rhinestones....
Each teacup had 5 floral pins
that had buttons attached to one side of the pin
and a rhinestone to the other side.
Are you doing the math?
That comes out to 500 PINS,
BUTTONS
and RHINESTONES!
These pretty teacup pincushions were favors for a bridal shower.
It was a beautiful shower and everyone loved the teacups.
They were arranged at each place setting.
In addition to the teacups,
I also made the centerpieces for the table.
Each plate had beautiful cupcakes arranged on them.
Fresh flowers were placed inside the teacup.
The mother of the bride, who is a also a friend of mine
was thrilled with everything.
I was just thrilled because the job was done!
Never again will I do 100 pincushions.
You would think I am sick of doing pincushions,
but I just added some to my Etsy.
Here's a few of my latest creations.
